Do you ever take a moment and reflect on the fact that maybe just maybe all of us don't have the full dataset and the numbers are actually quite good. GGG has access to the entire dataset and no company on planet earth makes moves to lose money. Which shows anyone that this very vocal minority on the forum is not the consensus of what the data shows.

There is evidence that player engagement has declined.
There is no evidence to the contrary.

The above is simply cognitive dissonance. You're inability to accept reality. Instead you've chosen to head over to lala land, where some mystical silent majority resides. oof.

If you consider their corrective actions for communication and more frequent patches, you can infer that engagement was/is starting to wane. A lot of that is on the over-correction/nerf they did to skills to allow them to buff mid-patch. These moves they make aren't always perfect. GGG is just trying to do their best to please players and develop their game. This time it wasn't well received and based on their actions, they are likely trying to figure out how to course correct for the future. The game state, especially endgame, isn't in a polished condition and many players have moved on cause of frustration. It's EA, what do we all expect. Hope they try to fix it tho.

its looks really miserable, thx jonh exile

To be fair, that's from a Tuesday night. This weekend, I am sure the numbers will reach high 20ks/low 30ks. =^[.]^=

Still no PoE 1 league announcement. Gotta get that loot box information in though! Milk the few fools remaining

half the players are probably bots. There's nothing interesting to do. Everything that was interesting in 0.1 they nerfed. The only thing I can do in game is spend 700-2000 div on a better spear. No thanks.

I’m still having fun, the issue with this league is spear is too dominant. You’re literally gimping yourself if you’re not lightning spearing your maps

The enforced tedium of POE2 is a PERFECT fit for RMT or pay to win MTX monetization. Fortunately tenCent is not known for such pay to win MTX monet ..... oh ..... they are ....

Hmm .... maybe there was a shooter on the grassy knoll.

there are definitely competitors to LS.

I run 2 builds

beiras and LS

beiras is at least on the level of LS for map clear. Its also just fine for map bosses, but i wouldnt do pinnacles on it.

Most of us wont fork over another dime until we see something tangible.
